Observe
1. I see a store that looks like it is not in very good shape or has a lot of buisness.
2. What I notice at first is a few people standing outside of the store just standing around
3. It seems like the store is on an area of barren land in the middle of nowhere.
Reflect
1. I think this image was made to show how poor some people were and how badly businesses were doing back then.
2. I think this image was made in the 1930's around the time of the depression because it seems to have a bad economy.
3. I think if someone were to make this differently, I think that it was be built a little more modern with a more sturdy material as well as be in a more civilized area.
Question
1. Who are the people in the picture?
2. Why are they on a bad landscape?
3. How else are they being treated?

Observe
1. I see a big building that looks like it does not seem to be supported very well.
2. The setting looks like the building is located in a modern day town back then in the early 1900s
3. Some other details I can see are some old fashioned cars in te backround.
Reflect
1. I think this image was made to show other people now a days what the architecture looked like back then.
2. From examining this image, I can tell that the buildings were not built as sturdy and looks a lot different than modern day architecture.
3. I think this picture was made in the 1930s due to the look of the architecture and how the structure looks.
Question
1. What is the building called?
2. Who owns the building?
3 Why does it seem like it was poorly built?

Observe
1. I see an old poory built looking shop.
2. The physical setting looks like it is located in a barren landscape with no very little light
3. Other details I can see are what looks to be like chimneys and a few small houses
Reflect
1. I think this image was made to compare what stores looked like back then for only one brand to what they look like now for multiple items.
2. I think what is missing in this image is a more civilized landscape and more customers.
3. If someone made this today, some things might be different like a bigger building, more items, and a more sturdy material.
Question
1. Who built this building?
2. Why is the building so small?
3. How come this building is not put in a more civilized area?
Part 2B
Railroad station, Manchester, Georgia
Observe
1. I see four people standing outside of a building.
2. What I notice first are the two guys standing outside wearing the brown jackets. They seem to be waiting for something.
3. It looks like the physical setting is a building in a civilized area.
Reflect
1. I think this picture was taken to show what some of the modern day life and culture was back then.
2. I think this picture was made in the mid 1930's.
3. I think the audience for this picture is the students age 12-17 to teach them about life back then
Question
1. Who are the two guys in the overalls?
2. Why are they waiting out there?
3. How are they all feeling when the photo was taken at that time?
A cafe near the tobacco market, Durham, North Carolina
Observe
1. I see a cafe that that seems to be well bit and has a lot of buildings.
2. What I notice at first is the name of the cafe called "FARMERS CAFE QUICK LUNCH".
3. The people and objects at home is a white man standing near the window with to cars parked outside of the shop.
Reflect
1. I think the image was made to show other people that restaurants back then were not that different from now a days.
2. From examining this image, I can tell that it was made in the early 1900's because of the old fashioned cars.
3. If someone were to make this cafe today, it would probably have a different structure look to it and probably separated from other shops.
Question
1. What type of cars are those?
2. Why are all buildings built together?
3. Who are the owners of this cafe?
Rex Theatre for colored people. Leland, Mississippi Delta
Observe
1. I see a theater with two people standing outside of it.
2. What I notice first is that the title of the theater states that it is only for colored people.
3. The setting looks like it is in a civilized area considering the fact that there is a lot of racism that goes on towards colored people.
Reflect
1. I think the image was made in the 1920's because that was about the time were racism was taken place.
2. I think the audience for this picture is for people who are in middle school or above so that they can see some of the separation between people
3. I think if someone were to make this modern time it would be much bigger and everyone would be allowed.
Question
1. Why are only colored people allowed in the theater?
2. How come the theater is so small.
3. What would be some of the differences between theaters for colored people and theaters for white people?
Part 3A
Listening to all of these stories makes me feel bad about what people had to go through during the great depression with all the issues with obtaining money and getting jobs. Chris Thorsten (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/thorsten.html) had talked about some of the dangerous jobs that he had to go through during the great depression. He ended up breaking several bones in his body and could not work for 4 years. Jim Cole(http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/jimcole.html) had to be a butcher during the great depression. He wanted to join the AFL union when younger but they would not take him. They never said it to his face but he says the reasons were just plain. Mrs. Marie Haggerty (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html) was a nurse during the great depression and said that they would always test you no matter what. She said that one time there was a five dollar bill on the bed one time but she didn't take it because she new she was being tested.
Anna Novak (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/anna.html) worked at the stock yards were she did not make much. She would always be out working during the holidays and see men walking around with a bunch of money enjoying themselves. Bernice (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/bernice.html) had to rent out her apartment with two other people during the great depression for sixty dollars a month after her husband ran off and left her. This goes to show that life in the great depression was tough and people were willing to go through terrible and painful jobs just to make a little money.
